Changing the IP address on the unit to match 
the IP address of the remote camera or 
switcher
[Remote camera settings] The unit sets the IP addresses for the remote 
cameras that have been detected by associating 
them with camera numbers whose connection 
setting is set to “NoAsign”.
Connection settings:
  On the [SYSTEM] menu, select [CAMERA CTL], 
and then display items [CAM1] to [CAM100].
Setting or changing IP addresses:
   On the [SYSTEM] menu, select [CAM IP ADR], 
and then display items [CAM1] to [CAM100].
Example:
  Three remote cameras are in operation.
   An additional remote camera with an IP 
address of “192.168.000.020” is newly 
introduced (and becomes remote camera E).
   Remote camera E is detected.
   In [CAMERA CTL], the [CAM4] item is set to 
“NoAsign”.
In the above example, on the [SYSTEM] menu, in 
[CAM IP ADR], the IP address of the [CAM4] item 
is set to “192.168.000.020”.  
 Subnet mask, default gateway, and port number 
settings are the same as those for the unit.
[Switcher settings] The IP address for the switcher will be set in the 
[IP:SW] item from [SW IP ADR] on the [SYSTEM] 
menu.
If different subnet mask settings are used for 
unit and remote camera, no operations using the 
network will be possible.
Note
1 Connect the additional remote cameras 
and the switcher to be introduced and 
the unit to the network within the same 
subnet.
2 On the [SYSTEM] menu, select [AUTO 
SET IP], and display [AUTO SETUP]. Then 
select “KEEP IP ADR”, and press the F2 
dial.
1.AUTO SETUP
    KEEP IP ADR
Both the number of devices (all remote cameras 
and the switcher) currently being managed by the 
unit and the number of new devices detected are 
displayed on the LCD panel.
C:001/004 S:0/1
            YES
C:001/004
Number of devices currently 
managed by the unit + Number of 
new devices detected
Number of new devices detected C: Remote camera, S: Switcher
 Memo 
If the number of new devices detected exceeds 
the number of devices that can be registered 
(100 remote cameras and 1 switcher), [C/S OVER!] 
will be displayed at the bottom of the LCD panel. 
Automatic IP address setting can be performed 
even in this state, but IP addresses will be set only 
for the number of devices that can be registered.
C:020/100 S:1/1
C/S OVER!   YES
The number displayed for “Number of new devices 
detected” may be lower than the actual number 
of devices to be set, due to a cause such as the 
remote cameras or switches not being powered on. 
In this case, eliminate the cause of the problem, 
select “RETRY”, and then press the F2 dial to retry 
the operation.
The number of units to be added can be updated.

3 Turn the F2 dial, select “Yes”, and then 
press the F2 dial.
This starts the “Auto IP setting” process.
When “Auto IP setting” has been initiated, the 
progress is shown by the number of displayed 
dots which are reduced one by one.

ttttt
When all the operations have been completed 
successfully, “COMPLETE!” is displayed.
AUTO SETUP
       COMPLETE!
The remote cameras can now be operated from 
the unit.
The function for linking the switcher with the unit 
becomes available for use at this point.
 Memo 
The “IP Duplication!” message is displayed if there 
is duplication between the IP addresses of the 
devices in operation and the IP addresses of the 
additional remote cameras to be introduced.
The IP addresses are not set for those remote 
cameras whose IP addresses are in duplication.
AUTO SETUP    
IP Duplication!
Check the IP addresses, and then retry the “Auto IP 
setting” operation.
 If the IP addresses were not set successfully, 
“SET UP ERR!” is displayed.
AUTO SETUP    
     SET UP ERR!
The cause of the problem is likely a network 
malfunction.
Check the connection status of the hub and 
LAN cables, and then retry the “Auto IP setting” 
operation.

 Changing the IP addresses 
of the camera numbers 
controlled by the unit
Use the steps below when connecting the remote 
cameras (thorough a router) whose IP addresses 
cannot be set by following the steps in “Auto IP 
setting”.
Setting the IP addresses
On the [SYSTEM] menu, select [CAM IP ADR], and 
display [IP:CAM1] to [IP:CAM100]. The IP addresses 
of the camera numbers can now be changed.
Even when “NoAsign” or “Serial” has been selected 
as the [CAM1] to [CAM100] setting of [CAMERA CTL] 
on the [SYSTEM] menu, the IP addresses can still be 
changed.
1.IP:CAM1      ▼
192.168.000.100
The IP addresses are set for all the camera numbers 
[CAM1] to [CAM100].
Initial values:
 CAM1 (192.168.000.010)
   
 CAM100 (192.168.000.109)
 Memo 
If the unit’s IP address has been changed using the 
[IP ADDRESS] item of [NETWORK] on the [SYSTEM] 
menu, the IP addresses of the camera numbers which 
were set to “NoAsign” for the [CAM1] to [CAM100] 
item of [CAMERA CTL] on the [SYSTEM] menu and 
which are higher than the unit’s IP address, will be 
automatically re-set in the sequence of the camera 
numbers set to “NoAsign” starting with the lowest 
number. When the IP addresses are changed, a check for IP 
address duplication is conducted. 
A check is carried out to verify whether there is any 
duplication with the IP addresses of the camera 
numbers which were set to “Network” for the [CAM1] 
to [CAM100] item of [CAMERA CTL] on the [SYSTEM] 
menu. 
If duplication is found, the “Duplicate!” is displayed for 
three seconds, and the IP addresses cannot be set.
1.IP:CAM1
      Duplicate!
The IP addresses set by following these steps are 
the IP address of the camera numbers controlled 
by the unit.
The IP addresses of the remote cameras are not 
changed.

the camera whose camera number is to be 
changed is being moved.
The IP address that can be selected is the IP 
address of the camera number which has been 
set for “Network” for the [CAM1] to [CAM100] item 
of [CAMERA CTL] on the [SYSTEM] menu.
3 Press the F2 dial to enter the IP address.
The IP addresses for the camera number of the
